Jennifer Lopez is coming back to Abu Dhabi this summer: Here’s everything you need to know

Global superstar Jennifer Lopez is making her highly anticipated return to the UAE with her Up All Night summer tour, and she’s bringing her glitz, glam, and chart-topping energy to Etihad Arena on Tuesday, July 29.
After her show-stopping performance at Saadiyat Nights earlier this year, fans have been begging for more – and J.Lo has delivered. This is your chance to dance the night away with the music icon.
The Return JLo
Known around the world as JLo, Jennifer Lopez is more than just a singer, she’s a cultural phenomenon. With a career that’s spanned three decades, she’s dominated the charts, ruled the red carpet, and conquered the big screen.
Raised in the Bronx, New York, to a Puerto Rican family, she first broke into the entertainment world as a dancer on In Living Color, and later toured with Janet Jackson as a backup dancer. But in 1999, JLo made her mark on the music world with her debut album On The 6, giving us unforgettable bangers like If You Had My Love, Let’s Get Loud, and Waiting for Tonight.
Expect All the Hits
With more than 80 million records sold worldwide, Jennifer Lopez’s concert setlists are a non-stop party. Here’s a taste of what you’ll likely hear:
- Let’s Get Loud
- On the Floor
- Jenny From the Block
- Love Don’t Cost a Thing
- Ain’t It Funny
- Get Right
- I’m Real
- Waiting for Tonight
Plus, fans can expect fresh visuals, jaw-dropping costume changes, and high-octane dance routines that only J.Lo can pull off.
A Star On and Off the Stage
JLo’s talents go far beyond the mic. She’s delivered box office gold with fan-favourite rom-coms and dramas like:
- Maid in Manhattan
- Monster-in-Law
- Marry Me
- Shall We Dance?
- Hustlers (her performance even earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations)
She’s also been recognised with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, a Billboard Icon Award, and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for her influence on music videos and pop culture.
What Jennifer Said
J.Lo shared the news on her official Instagram account, writing:
“To all my international JLovers, I’ll be doing a few select show dates over the summer. I can’t wait to get back out there to see all of you. It’s been too long. It’s gonna be an amazing summer. Stay tuned…”
If you’re in Abu Dhabi – or anywhere in the UAE – this is your chance to see one of the world’s most popular performers live.
